Yu Jun

Several sections of somat wood were cut open, and what was sealed inside were pearls, rhinoceros beads, and agate beads.

Even though it was sealed in wax and could not be shaken, there was a faint aura of jewels coming out of the wax, adding luster to the gloomy sky.

Su Mingquan sighed in admiration: "Master, let's abandon the fortress."

Liu Boyu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and knocked them "Kaka". While knocking, he said: "You don't understand, the fortress is our root, we can't lose it, and the sea is not smooth. In case of storms, even the boat will sink. gone."

Su Mingquan dug out a large ball of wax and pulled out two round pearls: "Who thought of this method? It's amazing."

Liu Boyu laughed and said, "Cats have their own way, and rats have their way. The Shibo Department is so strict, the merchants below naturally have their own way. As long as they are willing to spend money, they can find out."

Not to mention a few beads, they can even bring back the forbidden tortoiseshell, ivory, rhino horn, and coral.

Su Mingquan dug the table full of beads, Liu Boyu looked at it in a good mood, and said with a smile, "I reward you with one, let's play with it."

"Then I'll pick a good one."

"It's all good, all of them are precious pearls, have you taken the ivory from those people?"

Su Mingquan picked out one, looked at the sky, and stuffed it into his bosom: "Take it, two of them died, this time the mules are not easy to use, if they hadn't shown their feet, the boat wouldn't have been detained, sir, I have an idea……"

As soon as Liu Boyu heard that he was going to make a long speech, he immediately picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

Su Mingquan had something to eat, chewed it twice, then forgot what he was about to say, and took another piece: "It's delicious."

Liu Boyu kowtowed the melon seeds and thought casually: "The mules don't need to be in Kuanzhou, this is the head office."

Then he thought again: "Master Cheng did a great fight, it saved me a lot of trouble, so he took this cargo back."

Everyone in the Cheng family thought it was wonderful.

Cheng Taishan went to Wang Zhizhou's mansion to make an apology, and compensated countless precious medicinal materials, plus a table of money. As the party who admitted his mistake, he felt no humiliation or anger at all. Only the magpie chirped for him.

Wang Zhizhou, who was accepting the compensation, did not have the joy of winning, his brows were full of sadness, and his heart was whining day and night like a cuckoo.

However, it is inconvenient for Cheng Zhifu to openly rejoice when he is away, but he has to do a little bit of humiliation in front of Wang Zhizhou, apologize for his son and admit his mistakes. When he returns to Cheng's mansion, the real man is refreshed on happy occasions and has a lot of fatherly love for Cheng Ting for the first time.

When he saw Cheng Ting, he would call him "good son", and he repeatedly rubbed his palms like cattail leaf fans against the former "bad boy", which made Cheng Ting's hair stand on end, and he dared not go out.

It wasn't until Bietoushi's dragon and tiger list was posted in Kuanzhou, and Cheng Ting was not listed on the list, that Cheng Taishan's image of a loving father collapsed, and the little fatherly love disappeared.

Furious, he rushed to Mrs. Cheng, and squeezed out Cheng Ting, who was tall and big and still acting like a baby, and Cheng Ting, who was hammered, cried like a living donkey.

What makes Cheng Ting even more painful is that his loving mother suddenly became a strict mother, instead of saving him from his father's slap, she just watched coldly from the sidelines.

"I want to run away from home! I want to sever ties with you!"

While crying and shouting, he thought, the world is so cold, isn't it just that he is not listed on the list, and he didn't like studying at all.

At this time, Wang Zhizhou had a little smile on his face—Bie Tou tried to give candidates special treatment, one out of ten, Cheng Ting has studied hard for so many years, even if he is a stupid pig, he should pass the exam.

While Cheng Ting was crying and howling at home, Wu Jin was already preparing to go to the capital, Chunwei.

This year, Kuanzhou has no autumn food to transport. Candidates entering Beijing will go to Jeju with the caravan of Qiming Bank in Kuanzhou on September 21, and then change to other caravans in Luoshui to enter Beijing.

On September [-]th, Wu Jin received the exam stickers from the magistrate's yamen, and put them in a bamboo box for rushing to the exam. A few days ago, Wu Yi bought a small yellow cloth flag from the bookstore, and wrote the words "Follow the order to rush for the exam" , It was also inserted on the bamboo box cage, saying that if the flag is inserted, there will be no bandits.

Wu's mother's package has been packaged for two or three days, and it has not been packed until today. It is very difficult to take it out and put it in, put it in and take it out. If there is less, I am afraid that Wu Jin will suffer, and if there is too much, I am afraid that Wu Jin will be tired.

Seeing that she was about to leave in two days, her package was getting more and more messy, so she simply pushed Wu's father to exchange for bank notes—if she had money, she would buy whatever was lacking.

Only Wu Yi was left guarding the bakery, busy running around, and it seemed that only Wu Jin was still calm in the whole family.

On September [-]th, Wu Jin was still the same as usual, she got up at the end of the day, dressed and washed, boiled water, waited for Wu's father and mother to get up, scooped hot water for them to wash, and cooked rice Porridge.

Wu's mother lifted the lid of the jar, went to pick up pickles, and suddenly knocked off the lid of the jar.

Wu Jin will go on a long journey tomorrow, this break is an ominous omen, Wu's mother remembered the tragedy of the last time in the spring, she immediately burned all inside, her knees softened, and she knelt down in a daze.

The ground was icy cold, and as soon as her knees touched the ground, she immediately came back to her senses, and saw that Wu Jin had already walked over, and helped her to sit down on the chair: "Mother, I'll come."

He squatted down to clean up the tiles, swept the floor with a broom, put the broom back, and walked to Mother Wu: "Aniang, what's wrong with you? I'll accompany you to see the doctor."

Wu's mother shook her head, and suppressed the strangeness in her heart: "No, just now I took the lid and the chopsticks, and I got confused for a while."

She hammered her knee: "I'm old, I can't help myself at this age, no matter how strong my heart is, my body can't take it anymore."

Wu Jin stretched out her hands to cover her knees, and said with a smile: "Then you can rest today, I'm just in a panic, you and father go to the temple together, give me a prayer, and ask for a peace talisman to wear on your body."

When mentioning this matter, Mother Wu forgot about the ominous sign just now, and slapped her thigh: "I almost forgot."

She quickly stood up, picked up the pickles again, cut them into shreds on the cutting board, lifted the lid of the pot and stirred a few times, and shouted to the outside: "Father, wake up the second child! After breakfast, we will go to the temple. Bye bye, let the second child look at the shop."

Wu's father was chopping firewood on the small wheeled cart, and he was also restless. He chopped the firewood into a mess, and just as he was about to call Wu Yi, Wu Yi opened the door and came out, washing his eyes sleepily: "Mother, I want to eat egg."

"You look like an egg to me!"

The whole family sat at the table, drank hot porridge with shredded pickles, and ate eggs. After eating, Wu Yi went to work in the bakery. Wu's mother pushed Wu's father and hurried to the temple, hoping for a good omen.

Wu Jin looked at the sky and saw that it was sunny, so she stretched out the bamboo poles in the patio, hung out the starched clothes last night, wiped her hands and went out.

He went to Li Yitie's pharmacy first, but Li Yitie was not there, only his disciple Tang Baitie was there. Because of the rapid development of medical skills, Baitie's consultation fee also increased accordingly, waiting for other people who would not ask him to see a doctor, so he read medical books in the shop .

There are also two or three Xiaolang who are making plasters, sticking sticks on the plasters.

Tang Baitie was stagnant on the road to Shitie, unable to make any progress, as if thousands of rivers and rivers had accumulated in front of the closed gate, but they couldn't get out. Seeing Wu Jin, he said in a deep voice, "You're here , come here, I'll give you a pulse, no money, just have fun."
